Triple H and Jeff Hardy are kicking off an electric Monday night Raw tonight against Snitsky and his tag team partner Umaga. These four have a beef that stems from last week's Raw when Jeff Hardy was in a match against Umaga. During that match Snitsky ran out and began beating Jeff like a government mule. Triple H wasn't going to stand for that so he came to the aid of Hardy cleaning house like only the King of Kings can do. This is going to be an intense match.
Hardy and Snitsky kick off the match up. Hardy wastes no time in tagging in his partner and Triple H comes into the ring to lock up with the big ugly. Triple H and Hardy make quick tags to one another and Jeff uses his high flying ability to conquer the two big men. Triple H helps out and the ring is cleared of the Samoan bulldozer and the self proclaimed lover of causing pain. You would think with the money that comes with a wrestling career that Snitsky could at least afford to get his teeth fixed. Man that dude is more than ugly. Do other viewers hate the commercial interruptions in the middle of matches as much as I do? I've been to a live event before, I guess it ruined the commercial breaks for me. When you go to a live event you see it all with nothing to interrupt that. It's wonderful. Back to the match: Umaga and Snitsky are making easy pickings of Jeff. He makes a much needed tag to his fresh and feisty partner Triple H and the house is again on it's feet for the Game. It's starting to get brutal and bodies are being put to the test here tonight. While Triple H and Snitsky are on the outside beating each other, Hardy and Umaga are inside. Triple H saves Jeff from a bulldozer from Umaga and fantastic teamwork wins the match for Jeff and the Cerebral Assassin. Then out comes general manager William Regal to make an announcement. He mentions that he would like to see the Game in action at Armageddon with Triple H. Against each other. Neither man looks very happy about this decision but work is work all other feelings left aside.
The Nature Boy Ric Flair walks out in all his splendor and glory as the fans in Flair country are on their feet. He has a big announcement to make. He is talking of retirement. He is very emotional about this decision, but I have to admit it's long overdue. Then he surprises everyone by saying he's not going to retire until he is cold an dead in that ring. All those rumors about him retiring were just that, rumors. Out comes the chairman to the ring to make a statement of his own. Mr. McMahon comes out to say that he likes the fact the Ric is never going to retire. As long as he keeps on winning. The first match that he loses however will be his last as Mr. McMahon says that he'll be fired if he loses. That will either light a fire under the Nature Boy or be the end of the legend's career. Of course out comes Randy Orton to say something as well. He says that he has come out to thank Ric about the advice that he has given him at the beginning of his career. He thanks Flair for his friendship and for being the legend that all of us grew up with. Randy Orton vs Ric Flair tonight in Charlotte NC. Will Ric be able to capitalize and keep his career, or will the self proclaimed "Legend Killer" earn yet another notch on his yardstick?
An eight man tag team match is in the ring and about to kick off as we come back from commercial break. It's looking like Super Crazy, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes vs Rory McAllister, Robbie McAllister, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdock. The match breaks down rather quickly and it's hard to tell who the legal men in the ring are. Hardcore Holly gets a count out over Robby McAllister, winning the match for his team.
Todd Grisham is interviewing Jeff Hardy about his match at Armageddon against Triple H. He says it's an honor to be facing the game at Armageddon. Triple H comes up and says that he isn't really good with the "friend" thing, and that whatever roll they may be on now ends when they step in that ring at Armageddon.
Mr. Kennedy is promoting Shawn Michaels new DVD about his career Heartbreak and Triumph. He has nothing nice to say about it and makes Shawn Michaels look like a chump. I hope Shawn kicks his ass tonight, that's just blatant disrespect for the career of a man who paved the way for kids like Mr. Kennedy! Kennedy is a jerk and he shows his colors in full force with this segment.
Y2J comes out and makes his way to the ring. Will he be in action tonight or is he just making commentary? Either way I'm sure it will be entertaining! He's definitely an entertainer, one of the best! He came back to Raw to save us from Randy Orton and to take that championship from the Legend Killer. He is totally belittling Randy Orton and it's classic Jericho! He even uses visual aids to help Randy Orton to understand that he wants a title match. I'm laughing so hard right now I can't see to type. He is answered instead by Santino Marella. He calls Y2J, KYJ and begins to talk trash. I'm sorry but you don't talk trash to the king of the trash talkers on Raw. This is the funniest exchange I've seen yet. Santino challenges Jericho to a match and Y2J says, "ok!" It's on, but first Santino needs to warm up. He then jumps the announcers table and beats up King. Man what a warm up! The match will resume when the show comes back from commercial break, I can't wait for the Iotola of Rock N Rolla to kick Santino's butt all the way back to Italy!
The match kicks off and Jericho is looking good. It's like he'd never been gone. He was out of action for two years while he pursued other aspects of his career with his band Fozzy. Jericho is taking it to Santino. However Santino isn't just some weakling and he gives Jericho a run for his money! The fans are behind Jericho which helps him to power back and take control of the match once again. Jericho wins it! It's nice to see that he's totally back in action. Congratulations Jericho! However it's not over when King steps in the ring and beats the crap out of Santino. Good job King, he deserves it!
Shawn Michaels is backstage and giving Ric Flair a pep talk before his match against Randy Orton tonight. It's very heartfelt and I find myself tearing up just a bit. Ric Flair promises that he will deliver everything that he's got and he'll either be triumphant or he'll go out in a blaze of glory!
Brian Kendrick is in the ring taking on Mr. Kennedy tonight. Guess Mr. Kennedy had to get out some of his frustrations over Shawn Michaels new DVD release. He is really taking it to Brain Kendrick tonight. He makes quick work of Kendrick and wins the match in less time than it took to me type this up. (ok not really but it seemed that way!) Kennedy says that is just a sample of what he's going to do do Shawn Michaels at Armageddon!
Mr. McMahon is talking to Hornswaggle about his luck lately on Raw. It's the luck of the Irish. He talks about putting Finlay in a match against the Great Khali at Armageddon. He then sends Hornswaggle out to get him an ice cream sandwich, and it's a trap so Carlito can beat him up. Which totally backfires in Carlito's face. Hornswaggle spray paints a door on the wall then "magically" goes through it. Don't mess with a leprechaun, it's bad luck! Ron Simmons agrees, Damn!
Beth Phoenix is in the ring to watch the next match. Mickie James vs Melina in a #1 contender match for a chance to face the Glamazon at Armageddon. Is it just me or does Melina's outfit tonight remind you of Hot Wheels? It's cute! There is no love exchanged between these two women as they battle for their chance at the title. Mickie James wins it and she will face Beth Phoenix at Armageddon for the championship.
Ric Flair makes his way to the ring and the whole locker room is there to cheer him on! Triple H says "show him who you are!" I'm not sure how this match is going to pan out, but either way I think it'll do justice to the Nature Boy!
Randy Orton comes out first for this match up. Ric Flair comes out to some huge ovations as the fans are on their feet! Will this be the last time we see a bejeweled robe such as this? No matter how great Randy Orton thinks he is, you know that he has to be just a little humbled to be in the ring with one the greatest wrestlers that this business has ever seen! Ric Flair kicks off this match up with fire and gusto. He's all over the champ but that is short lived as the champ gets Flair in a corner and dishes out a beating of his own. It's old school vs the next generation in this match up! Randy Orton takes time to stomp on Flair as if he were punctuating a point. Flair is quickly losing his gusto as Orton battles on. Orton brutalizes Flair on the outside of the ring and I'm not sure he's going to make it back in by a ten count. He is struggling and he makes it. Flair shows that it's not over yet as he tries to battle back into this match. Flair gets the figure 4 in the center of the ring is it over? Orton makes it to the ropes, barely. A huge RKO is landed on Flair. Flair gets the rope and the count is broken. The crowd chants Nature Boy as they try to get Flair back into this match. Jericho distracts the ref long enough so Ric Flair can get a low blow on Orton, and Flair wins it! He's not so easily put down. The dirtiest player in the game is still in action and he's got one very angry champ to deal with. That however is for another time and another place, tonight it's all about Jericho and Orton eyeing each other like two wild animals fighting over a kill. The best laid plans are ruined in heartbeat Mr. McMahon, don't you forget it!
